What iPad models are compatible with the Sphere app? – Teradek

Stitching

Stitching requires significant device resources, and not all iPad models are capable of this.

For best results, Teradek strongly recommends using the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st or 2nd generation) or the iPad Pro 10.5-inch.

The following devices are compatible with the Sphere for stitching purposes, but have varying hardware capabilities and subsequent restrictions on the performance of the app.

Compatible

Strongly Recommended:

iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2nd generation, 2017)
iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st generation, 2015)
iPad Pro 10.5-inch

Recommended but not advised:

iPad Pro 9.7-inch

Not Recommended:

iPad 9.7-inch (5th generation, 2017)
iPad Air 2

NOTE: not advised / not recommended models will need to have the encoding and streaming settings reduced.

Not Compatible:

All prior iPad models are not compatible and not supported by Teradek for stitching purposes.

This includes the iPad Air, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad 4, and all versions of the iPad Mini including the iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3, and iPad Mini 4.

Monitoring

Local monitoring on additional iOS devices -- iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch -- is available in the same Sphere app.

These devices can view the stream that is generated by the iPad performing the stitch when they are on the same local network.
